I haven't heard a case like this yet but...
i'm hearing all these "oh he 100% hacks and this is proof" claims based upon a single action in a game. It made me wonder if it could be some stupid bug in a game, such as click moving an SCV in black area/fog of war onto a geyser and it showing up as "suspicious action" in bwchart.
so, has anyone seen a case of someone who is DEFINITELY not hacking (like with 2 of your own computers) and found "supposed evidence" of a hack?

I haven't seen anything like that.

it sometimes seems that somebody hacks but sometimes it intuition with the game and sometimes is just luck : | or maybe some minor detail that you left out.
|
i was caught hacking without hacking :D, so yea ppl are relying too much on these "perfect" programs to detect hack t.t
|
|
|
i hack, but BWchart and the "suspicious actions" system seem to never catch me!
|
when i test a game with my 2 own computers (no hack of course) i sometimes get like 100 suspicious moves for each... so it is pretty weird
|
"suspicious actions" are just when you click the other persons units and buildings.
Can't believe you people haven't figured it out =[
|
Yes it could be stupid bug in the game. In my case I got accused by map hack 100% now. about something that can be stupid bug in the game.
at first people tried to accuse me hacking with Random Zerg Testie vs I. But now nobody talking more about it. now someone is keep trying to say look at this game SW)Lois vs MgZ)Nookie. It is impossible to happen he did attacked without vision etc. and accuse me hacker and banned me WGT with very small proof.
1 very small action which can be error and no more proof until now. Im very sure someone is seeking, trying to find some more proove to upload but couldnt yet.
I really dont see senseful action belong with it.
Im very sad i got banned from WGT (*cough*) im very sad about this comunity.

I don't hack and I get "suspicious actions" in BWChart. It's normal. The proof of hacking comes when someone makes a "suspicious action" on an object that it is in NO WAY possible that they could see, even accounting for the worst of lag in a game. Read Penguins post on the whole matter.
If you just click on the fog of war and it happens to be over a unit, it will not be recorded as clicking on the unit.
I'm not here to say that this method of detecting hack is 100% reliable, because I really don't know for sure. But it looks 100% sure to me.
|
My problem with this is that hack-like actions would have occured WAY more often than it has been. So far it seems it has only occured once with Lastgosu (where other hackers have just admitted and apologized). The person dosn't seem to be too credible (IE if someone such as Eriador or Nazgul I wouldn't have such a problem giving them the benefit of the doubt) so i'd say as of now there's no possibillity of there being a bug.
|
the concept isnt that you were caught hacking one time in a stupid situation lois, it's the belief that you have been hacking all along and just getting away with it. You slipped up once and got busted. Nobody cares if you hacked vs some random guy in an unimportant game, but now they think you hacked in all the major matches too..
however i too am inclined to aggree that we're moving too fast here, i think the community is in a state of paranoia now that there is actual money on the line that any one of us stand the chance of winning. And i'm still worried one day im gonna see a post by penguin with the title "omg im so sorry i screwed up!" in his detection mechanism.

Lastgosu, this is a generalization about human reactions, but here goes:
When people are accused of something that they are innocent of, they claim their case rationally. If people generally don't believe them they explain the differences in their views and leave it at that.
When people are accused of something that they are guilty of, they start freaking out. First off, you'll find their arguments just quite frankly don't make any sence whatsoever. They cite facts that really have nothing to do with the situation at all, or they try to attack the credibility of other people instead of defending their own credibility. You can easily see this in criminal / civil defendants or people involved with the police. If you're freaking out it's because you don't have a rational explanation to defend yourself.
Which of the two categories do you believe you fit into?
You clicked on someone's Nexus while it was under the fog of war. I have yet to hear a rational explanation about how you managed to accomplish this. You've typed probably 5 pages of non-sensical gibberish.
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT ALLOWED YOU TO SELECT A NEXUS UNDER THE FOG OF WAR?
What's more likely, computer programming error or human error? I would tend to believe that you made an error and selected a nexus that you shouldn't have, rather than something in the Starcraft code caused the replayed to say you selected a building while you didn't.
Anyways, I don't know why I typed this all out. You're not going to read this properly and are not going to have a sensical reply. I guess this just makes me happy to see you get what you deserve and you're squirming around like the hacker you are.

Lastgosu could have been caught through BWChart - it's just a bit more time consuming than watching a rep and having some text come up saying they may hack. Superpenguin provided an expedient to this process - not his fault if there's a flaw in Brood War's fog of war, which I highly doubt as out of all the hackers who have been caught, and out of the 100000's of replays there are that people on this board have viewed, Lastgosu's is the only one with that bug occuring.

Sometimes it just intuition. One game I played a long time ago, i did something very suspicious. I gundam rushed and had him contained. I felt he was going reavers, so i sent some vultures to the outskirts of my main to lay mines for more of a heads up. As soon as they get their, I see his shuttle come out of fog of war near thoose vults as soon as my vults start to lay mines. It was just so perfectly timed, i don't know how i could have defended myself if he accused of MH, but he didnt. I actually, felt pretty shitty afterwards, because i thought for sure they would say i hacked, and be kicked out of this guild.
Concreate proof, such as replay selection analysis, nope.

It seems to me that most cases of false hack accusations are based on what penguin would classify as "suspicious" actions and not on clear proof situations. Also, there are cases where an object is just on the borderline of vision and it seems as though there is no vision but there actually is 1 pixel of vision.
But there has been not 1 case where penguin's "clear proof" method has been disproved. Until someone can produce a case where a "clear proof" instance is generated without maphack, then I will put 100% faith behind penguin's method.
I think it's also important to set a standard to what clear proof is. Penguin mentioned 5+ seconds as his benchmark for clear proof, but I propose we also add "x" number of pixels away from the border of vision.
I personally have tried various methods to produce a clear proof instance without maphack, using various commands and different situations with fog of war etc. I was unable to get a "clear proof" situation without maphack and I'm certain that no one else can either.
I challenge someone to create a legitimate situation where a suspicious move was generated at least 5 seconds away from last vision and at least 2 matrixes away from the vision's borderline on a non-corrupt replay and I will eat my words and also personally apolgize to lois and selector.

According to penguin, this is by no means proof of hacking. It is merely suspicious action due to BW mechanics. For it to qualify as clear proof, it must be at least 5+ seconds before/after vision was obtained. In your case it was a matter of milliseconds, so it is clear that the situation you described can indeed be replicated without maphack. If you clicked his shuttle 5 seconds before you got vision and it was nowhere near the border of your vision and the replay was no corrupt, then yes it would be CONCRETE PROOF.

Chill: theres one glaring problem with what you have described... what if the hacker is one step ahead and knows all this already. Nothing like a little inverse reverse pscyhology.
However i just cant let him be be destroyed like this without at least a little fair defense. I used to get accused of hacking all the time back in the quake1/2 days. At first, it really pissed the fucking hell out of me. Dunno why, was just such an insult to have someone declare all my hours of practice and skills worth nothing, down the drain. Even worse when it was an admin and i would get kicked. However the difference of course was it was all opinionative, no program actually claimed to contain data against me. After probably a month of the occasional accusation, i did just what you said and didnt care anymore. I'd either calmly explain to the admin or person everything that could make my shot or intuition believable, or i'd just say "well i cant do anything about your thoughts, you do what you gotta do, im gonna keep playing". I dont think i was ever really banned or anything. Now when i get kicked from a css server, i dont even bother going back because i understand theres so many people out there without a clue. However i do have the luxery of about 2000 other servers to choose from. Lois is a little more pissed because his play is not limitted from a very popular crowd.
Plus this might be his first time being accused so he's still going through the initial phase i was. But hacking and anti-cheat detection back then was a different animal, so i dont know if my behavior then can be applied to someone today.

Well yeah, that, or wrongly accused people become very frustrated and act in a irrational manner.

Daaman has spoken well about this topic in the past. For example, these analysis programs typically have some kind of delay which distorts your perception of exactly when something happens. These programs are not perfect. Do not be too quick to judge.
Also, consider the following scenario: You are playing against a terran, whether u know the opponent's race or not at the outset. You send ur worker to scout and while watching it u hear the sound of an SCV building something. The sound indicates terran (and his location on the map) and so u hide ur scout in the base and do an anti-terran build. After the game, ur opponent watches the replay and says "Your scout never had vision and yet u knew I was terran and where I spawned on the map. Hacker!"
Sometimes intuition is mistaken for hack. For example, there was an incident before Rekrul went to Korea when he was accused of hack because (on LT I think?) he moved a bunch of goons to his natural exp just as the opponent (I forget who) was trying to drop near his ledge. Opponent says hack, Rekrul says "intuition". The controversy went away because there was no real proof and, well, it was Rekrul.

I'm not sure about that. I got banned from my favorite CS server for supposedly hacking which I didn't. I acted very rationally because it just seemed the best way to convey my innocence. I had to go to their forum and make a formal complant and blah blah blah. This happened on another server where the server took screenshots of me and some admin requested I send them to him. I acted very rationally there too and sent them in promptly never bad mouthing them at all. So I would say people usually don't become irrational when they are innocent.

In CS, your forgetting if you head shot the owner of the server or one of his close friends, you are a hacker no matter what. Just my expierence.

HowitZer: The point that -_- was trying to make was that not everyone reacts in the same way. It takes a very level headed person to keep calm and explain oneself after such an accusation.

my friend (milk in cs) has that problem with one server
no matter what he shows the owner, he says "I don't care about your proof, you're a fucking hacker", but he is usually unbanned a week later anyways
he's been banned and unbanned there three or four times

no, rekruls probes moved to a mineral patch he could not see.
he hacks thanks.

1. Stop with the "bwchart gives me suspicous actions i dont hack" posts.
That shit has absolutely no relevance to this topic at all.
BWAC/Bwchart catching suspicious actions and BWAC/Bwchart catching definite cases of hack ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.
2. Stop with the "I/he was accused of hacking but I/he was not hacking" shit.
Again, this has absolutely no relevance to this topic at all.
Someone being accused of hacking when he wasn't really hacking (due to intuition, etc.) has absolutely NO relevance to this topic, which is asking if anyone has been caught hacking by supposed evidence (BWAC/BWChart) when he was not hacking.
With that said, it is impossible as far as I know for anyone to not hack and is still caught by BWAC/BWchart as a hacker.
I've said this in another topic, but the simplest non-technical way to test this is to download the thousands of replays from replay packs of top Korean pros--those who you know do not hack. You will never ever find 1 single instance of BWAC/BWchart catching a false case of hack (clicking on something at an instance when it is impossible without hack).
Next, test it with 2 computers or a friend. Try to do everything you can think of to try to get BWAC/BWChart to catch a false case of hack. You will not succeed. You can get BWAC/BWchart to catch as many suspicious actions as you wish, but you will never get BWAC/BWChart to catch you clicking on something at an instance when it is impossible to click on (such as the case found in lastgosu's game) when you are not hacking.

Interesting how you justify yourself. I see why battle.net is the way it is today. It is exactly your way of thinking that ruins many games at battle.net.

I am sure there have been players wrongfully banned for hacking when they did not. You can generally tell by a persons attitude if they have hacked or not at the time they have been accused.
I would rather see x10 hackers get away with hacking, rather then see an innocent gamer who never hacked get accused wrongfully.

i dont think lastgosu is a hacker in my case 2 years ago, i wanted to fair play on WGT, i used to BWS as pdk001 and oG)pdk_kr, one day BWS calls me a hacker(i didnt know untill everyone told me that) why i didnt change as new ID and turn BWS on everytimes when i play a game if im a hacker? it wasnt rule on wgt to use BWS
|
I've had a weird problem with BWScanner too, I was just idling in channel when it shouts out that I'm hacking.. O_o weird..
|
BWAC/BWchart is pretty much concrete proof of hacking if it does find such a case.
BWScanner, on the other hand, is not as accurate, at least back then before it was refined. There were many instances of BWScanner reporting hack, but most of these cases were all caused by things such as people using APM Live, BWAC itself, even nocd launchers. Other causes exist which I won't go into. Accordingly, these instances of false hack detection by BWscanner were reported to TraveltoAuir who have used them to fine-tune the newer versions. Generally, discovery of hack when using BWScanner is not concrete proof of hack unless TraveltoAuir confirms it.
Discover of hack with BWAC/BWChart, however, is concrete proof by itself.

Freezer_au it never happened on WGT. And lastgosu was hacking in this game, there is no doubt.This action is impossible to do without maphack (w/o vision of nexus), try it by yourself. Starcraft is saving true actions to replay. Bwchart only open/uznip them. The only mistake was done by Lois when he gave us proof by targeting nexus
|
just because it SAYS he did doesnt mean he did..i could say that i saw you steal my car (i dont actually have a car) and take a picture but it doesnt prove it was you... you people are just getting paranoid, you cant stop hacking..just like bush cant have world peace. if all your doing while trying to stop hacking is getting innocent gamers banned the whats the point, how would you like it if you got banned for hacking when you never did?

How can you say a player that has been banned for hack never been banned unfairly on WGT ? As accurate as admins are I am sure there have been occaisons where they have banned people that have not hacked.

There are simply more ways than BWAC to catch hackers, but they are not fullproof.
Please, if you think you were falsely convicted show that this can happen again :/ Otherwise shut up.

GL AT USA FINALS~!~!~ you can't pinpoint human emotions like that, Sure this is good general truth most of the time but not all the time. Say im playing poker I see my opponent loading up his chips in his hand usually this means he has a weak hand and hes trying to intimidate me , but maybe he just has a bad habit of grabbing his chips or maybe he only does it when he sees me do a certain thing, maybe he knows that i know loading up chips is a sign of weakness. One time i was playing a TvT vs these guys that say i suck blah blah they wont ever play me, then one day one of them challenges me TvT some crappy map I own the shit out of him with intuition and macro because there is only 2 expos per player, and i control the map with wraiths because the pathways are very small and narrow and for some reason we couldnt upgrade seige mode (LOL?). All throughout the game they are calling me a hacker, I don't think i have ever been so angry in a game in my entire life. The first thing is did was call him names and say he sucks before ever even trying to rationalize my gameplay. I don't hack, In fact they tried to cheat me, the creator of the game SAVED the game half way through corrupting the rest of the replay beyond that point. so i paused the game turned on camtasia and when i unalt tabbed it was unpaused obs wouldnt shut the fuck up with their comments etc. if anyone wants the rep and the video PM me, its kind of funny.

hm 2 people are accused hacking now.
Selector and lois.
Selector has been caught 4-5 times in the past... and still claims that he is no hacker... Lois was also caught hacking in the past...
if you understand german language,read selectors posts on broodwar.de in the BW-forum. he was always defending himself to death in every game he was caught hacking...
though it is very obvious that he hacked in every single game he was accused.

I pretty much agree with Chill's psychological implication... the way lastgosu reacts doesn't give me a certainty that he hacks, but it does make me sceptical about what he is saying rather than wanting to believe him.
NewbSaibot, if the hacker knows this and wnats to use reverse psychology , would he not act against his impulses and give a convincing rational explanation? (much like ilnp did after wdt ) he convinced a lot of people, lastgosu didn't ... doesn't apply to this case
People who admit their hackness are much less pathetic than those who don't..

i know suspicious actions happen all the time, but i'm curious about something where you can perhaps click "attack move" into the fog of an opponents base and it somehow reads as a "selected this building" in BWChart / penguin plug

IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR PEOPLE:
Has this ever happened to you guys, where you are zerg/protoss early expanding, and you are getting ready to send your first few drones over to mine, so you click on the minerals in the fog of war. However, instead of that mineral lighting up, a DIFFERENT patch lights up. Or, sometimes when i tell a unit to "move" to a certain location in the fog of war in my enemy's base, and i happen to click NEAR a building, for some reason that building lights up. HOWEVER, when my unit gets to the area and there is no fog, they move exactly where i told them to, and not to the buliding that lit up...
It made me curious as to whether or not a "select" had occured when i couldn't see it.
I'll do some tests w/ my brother tasteless when i get back home from college

Penguin says he has tested this and even though buildings or patches light up the command is processed as action on ground.

Definately seen this happen.

Gosh. Admins of WGT are catching hackers for 2 years with this method. They tested everything, know everything about those actions and bugs... If you don't understand something just check it by yourself, test it, go ahead
|
Couldn't you just have someone who is REALLY hacking, and see what happens? Like set it up so that everyone knows he hacked on purpose, then check the suspicious moves.
|
If Lastgosu clicked on a Nexus under fog of war, he's a hacker -- plain and simple.

The most simple way to catch a hacker is to just give vision to your opponent during the game from time to time and see if they say anything about it. If they're using maphack, they wouldn't say anything about it because they wouldn't notice it.

Why is that?

Because if you give a player vision he will keep his mouth shut and use it to his advantage.

no..what you do is.. use an odd build order or strategy like proxy gates, fast river drop, 5 drone pool build and give vision briefly then your opp. is likely to use the build order or strategy accordingly (counter strategy).. later when the game is over.. accuse him of maphacking for using the perfect counter build order/strategy.. If your opponent wasn't using maphack.. he would say.. "wtf?? it's because you visioned me" If he was using maphack.. his response won't include the word "vision" anywhere..
well ok but I acknowledge that this method is not always guaranteed. but at least it doesn't require any tools or complicated process.
|
I guess in theory it could work, but thats alot of work just to try and prove someone wrong. I'd rather sign off and go do something else away from the computer.
|
yeah.. but if it's to prove someone with a 'big' name a hacker it's a different story
|
people should say if someone visions them since it's an obvoius test of hack. hackers are always like "i didn't notice you visioned me" and "i know you visioned me" and try to lie about when they saw it. people not saying when they are visioned just helps hackers :-(
|
If some newb gave me vision in a game, I sure as hell wouldn't say anything about it. I would keep my mouth shut and continue playing.

Trust me, the method is flawed and most of the time, the cheater will be able to tell if you visioned him or not.

I agree, on map hacks, you can use some kind of semi-fog where you see all your enemie's units + their buildings under the fog. If you vision, the fog will disapear and the hacker will notice .
|
I know about the semi fog option.. but normally they wouldn't set it on fog option cuz you can't see things clearly on minimap and it sorta irritates your eye.. If you set it on fog option you are likely to miss dropship coming by or building templer archive in secret places

which makes you the newb

i got banned once before there was any way of proving it it had been luck timing vs HovZ ;-) moving goons at same time his dropship was coming to drop me at the right spot that was rather luck, there wasnt bwchart back then nor anything else to catch a hacker, and i got banned unfairly!

The stupidest method i've ever seen. Tons of accusations "i gave him vivion and he didn't say anything" ... wtf? do i have to unfocus myself during game and say something just because someone is checking me? rofl I never say anything in such situations. With this way you can't proove anything, and nobody can publicly accuse you of using maphack, so i don't care.

ROFL @ you.

i did? how?, cuz u can ask fayth we played with BWS on(i asked for it)... then AFTER our games i went to play with my friends
|
|
|
i know, but after the CL i went on and forgot i had BWS on and used a maphack with my friends, and that's what the BWS caught and why i got banned from TLT, why would i use 2 different maphacks (one that BWS gets and one that doesn't?) :p, anyway all i asked for was A rep where it shows i hack or even suspicious moves that can't be explained, no one found even 1, no one even looked for 1 , cuz i don't hack and they know it! shush!!
|
just one question.. why hack ????? to be strong or what??
|
to me it was for fun with all my friends all knowing we had it on , not only maphack but stack and all those
|
Once I didn't notice that my opponent allied vision with me towards my victory and he thought he definitely caught me cheating when he asked: "Is there anything wrong?" and I responded otherwise.
|
I once got like 35 suppicious actions, and i didn't hack at all
|
I did not say that Louis didn't hack, and I will not go out and find proof. What I am saying is admins arent perfect and I am 100% positive players have been banned for hack when they havent hacked. Some of the WGT admins that end up making the decisions don't even play the game and don't have a good enough understanding of strategies and builds between different matchups. I am sure they have a good percentage of catching hackers but no way is it 100% success rate.
|
of course nothing is 100%. But definitely over 95% imo.
|
Lastgosu probably hacked. He does come from x17 after all

Before people jump to conclusions and claim 100% hack we should follow some simple logics and isolate particular scenarios that may cause an 'evidence' or point of dispute in replays.
I don' rule out bwchart may be flawed. Personal experience once being accused hack in a 2v2 because 'conclusive evidence' that I selected a nexus 3 seconds in game. However the accuser claims I selected his partner's nexus, while on MY bwchart it shows I merely selected my partner's. I provided screenshot but in retrospective, I could just as well be faking that screenshot? While at the same time I cannot disprove the accuser has gotten the information wrong.
Now about lastgosu, While i have not seen the replay involved, other factors such as say, given what screen shots I've seen, nookie builds a pylon after the suspicious action, something one cannot do without selecting a probe first, therefore we deduce that suspicious action should not be an action of nookie's and wrongly recorded by bwchart. Etc etc and we arrive at a list of possible things that may actually happened: 1. replay saving simply retarded and mistake an action that never happened(incorrectly recorded time of event, mistaken event/object blah blah). 2. everything is working fine, replay did record 'evidence of hacking' though really it appears the T was selecting tanks attack moving and I in that scenario don't usually select opponent buildings out of sight miles away... 3. or bwchart has problem analyzing some borderline information(as in replay don't know what to do with it, bwchart interpret it anyways) that replay saved. 4. any 3rd party in-game observing what may distort recording. 5. any 3rd party program running that might distort game information saved in replay.
Based on this, we then try eliminate the alternative options....
I'm not going to jump onto the 100% hack bandwagon or the personal attacks. I too get irritatable when accused of hack in-game(usually resort to insulting the accuer's intelligence and evidence of a 'suck-hack' which imho is perfectly logical:-anyone who accuse me hack in-game is a retard, as I dont and can't do blantant things like target sv with scourges beyond sight range, anything else are just suspicious but not conclusive).

Jesus-fucking-Christ. What part of the word "suspicious" did you not understand? Would you please use a dictionary before making stupid posts? Thank you. I will explain it to you because I'm such a nice guy. Suspicious action means: "Theses are the 100 out ouf 10000 actions in the game, that are worth looking into if you expect someone to hack and want to check, if the things he clicks are really visible and clickable for him at that point in the game". No more, no less.
Understood the difference between "Suspicious" and "Prooven guilty" now? Ah never mind ....

Has this ever happened to you guys, where you are zerg/protoss early expanding, and you are getting ready to send your first few drones over to mine, so you click on the minerals in the fog of war. However, instead of that mineral lighting up, a DIFFERENT patch lights up. Or, sometimes when i tell a unit to "move" to a certain location in the fog of war in my enemy's base, and i happen to click NEAR a building, for some reason that building lights up. HOWEVER, when my unit gets to the area and there is no fog, they move exactly where i told them to, and not to the buliding that lit up...
It made me curious as to whether or not a "select" had occured when i couldn't see it.
I'll do some tests w/ my brother tasteless when i get back home from college
Happens all the time ^^

Complete bullshit. Please stop talking about admin work when you don't know shit about it. I tell you once more... admins are not baning ANYONE for hack without a 100%proof. Strategy and BW skill has nothing to do with it. You're 100% positive? Please give examples. If not - stop it, thanks.

once i was playing a 1v1 game on east and beat the guy he asked for re, i said yes and then we went to play the 2nd game
in the middle of the game he allies vision with me, and then i dont say anything and use it to kill him when he was being killed he said 'didnt you notice anything?'
and i said: "yes, you gave me vision and i used it to kick your noob ass" then he left the game lol
|
Ok sorry if it has been said before but so many people dont understand what "suspicious actions" are : BWChart "Suspicious actions" are just actions where u selected ur opponent building/unit NO MATTER IF U CAN SEE IT OR NOT !!!! So : U have to see the replay and check urself if he has the vision of what he selected => yes he have => no proof => no he clearly cant see that (its 2 screens behind fog war) => HE CLEARLY HACKED (select my opponent pool when i'm scouting with scv is a "suspicious action")

Do elite football referees make mistakes ? Yes they do! They are professional and get paid big bucks and yet they still make mistakes. WGT Admins do not get paid, the majority of them don't even play the game competitivly. Remember the old days of WGT ? Before we had all these new programs ? Admins had to decide on basic game knowledge or accept votes from the public to influence their decisions. The way you are talking, you are making it sound as though WGT admins have a perfect 100% record in catching all the hackers they have cought. I am 100% sure that some people that have been banned were infact not using a hack. No I wont go looking for individual examples. I don't have the time.

The way I figure it, is there isn't anyone that I have banned for maphack that has made a legitimate complaint about it.
Except you get like "I wasn't hacking on wgt" or the Tittybang method of deny deny deny, say the proof is forged, then deny it some more.
Well, and there is madcow .
